The End and The Beginning

2008 West--35th Anniversary, Road Trip

Today was a day for doing little errands and reflecting on the fabulous journey that we have just completed. We have traveled more than 16,000 miles and visited 27 states. We’ve been as far north as the Canadian border, as far west as the Pacific Coast, as far south as the Rio Grande. We’ve visited 35 National Parks, Monuments, and Forests, not to mention awesome state parks and other historic sites. We’ve learned so much more about our fabulous country and about ourselves. It’s been an incredible adventure to be homeless with ATM cards. Then today we began setting up utility accounts and getting ready to establish our household here in Western North Carolina.
P.S. It’s predicted to get down to 20 degrees F tonight.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
